Study Finds Some Biracial Americans Pass -- As Black

During the Jim Crow era, some
African-Americans or biracial Americans who were physically able chose to pass
as white. A new study co-authored by UVM professor Nikki Khanna and Emory
professor Cathryn Johnson finds that passing still occurs today, but that
instead of passing as white, some biracial Americans are now passing as black. We
talk to Nikki Khanna about the study and its findings. And Burlington singer/songwriter Myra Flynn joins us to talk about
her experience growing up biracial in Vermont.

And Burlington Free Press
reporter Candace Page discusses one of the Vermont animals that made headlines this year: Pete the
Moose. Incoming Governor Peter Shumlin and other legislators are hoping to
reverse a law that went into effect this year that ended up giving the owner
of an elk hunting park custody of all the wild moose
and deer on the property--including Pete.
